Ponder, Wonder

Some sensate specks of dust ponder
on this side of Infinity, they wonder:

        Is it probable or even just possible
        that millions of years to you and me
        are but a millisecond to someone else?

        Can there be, aside from us here,
        other intelligent beings on planets
        swirling down milky galactic wells?

Other specks of dust likewise wonder
at the other end of Infinity, they ponder.
